Quick clicks: Learners taking over learning
There are a couple of interesting posts about learning up today: Sue Pelletier at face2face blogs about attendees rebelling during a session at the SXSW technology conference. She links to video of the session as well; once you've watched it, I'd be curious to see what the meetings folks out there think. What if something like this happened at one of your events?
Elsewhere, at Mission to Learn, Jeff Cobb blogs some thoughts about a world without courses. How could we tell whether someone has officially "learned" when they are doing their learning unofficially, with no diploma or certificate awarded by an accredited learning provider? Jeff has a few ideas.

Thanks so much for the mention, Lisa, though I have to give credit where credit is due and say that my thinking riffs off of George Siemens, who has put a great deal of thought into this topic. Anyone interested in the topic should also Google Jay Cross and check out his bloggings and recent book on Informal Learning. And, of course, Michele Martin at the Bamboo Project has done tons of good thinking in this area. In any case, I definitely welcome comments over on the Mission to Learn posting! --Jeff

Jeff, thank you so much for responding to my post with more good info! I'll definitely check out Jay Cross and George Siemens' work on this subject--and of course I always enjoy reading what Michele Martin has to say about pretty much anything.

Two other bloggers have commented on the SXSW session that went awry: Jamie Notter and Cindy Butts.
